Freedom to Iran - Insha'Allah

Iran is headed for civil war and Tehran is on fire. Ahmadinejad von with 62.6% after an 85% participation at the polls, and anyone using more than one brain cell realises that this is a fraudulent charade, set up by the clergy, run by the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Thousands and thousands are now protesting in the worst riots since the revolution in 1979, while both Ahmadinejad and Khamenei sound just like a delirious Baghdad Bob.

During the last few days, communication media used by the opposition to reach voters, such as Facebook and Youtube, but also mobile phone networks, have been blocked by the regime. Over 100 Ahmadinejad opponents have been arrested and supposedly also his biggest rival, the reformist Mousavi. The waves of demonstrators are not chanting "Death to America" or "Death to Israel", but instead "Death to the Government". During nighttime the rooftops of Tehran are filled with people shouting the Takbir "Allahu Akbar" in protest of the government and election results.

First ones to congratulate the victory were the Syrian dictator Bashir Assad and the increasingly almighty Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. That speaks for itself.

Michael Totten covers the development in Iran in an excellent manner. There is no use for me to use more words from him, but instead I redirect you... His blog is one of my top favourites.
